Hi Jimmy,

I was looking at those for my LC, 15 x 6. I don't know how they would go under LH /LX, I think there is a thread here on widest tyres under flares.

Is your body modified on the rear under the flares?

Sounds a good plan. There is a thread on here somewhere about tyre size in flares,

Best of luck, you have any pictures of the car to show us?

With Flares, yes those wheels will fit... Fronts might need some trimming in a few spots depending on the tyre choice.

On a 8.5" rim, the best tyre would be a 265/50/15....

You could fit a 10" rim on the back with 5" backspace and run bigger tyres...

All this is assuming that you have cut out under the flares etc.

Thanks mate, trying to keep it looking reasonably original Torana S, with some added grunt under the bonnet.

Sounds good, like the look of your car already, the thread I was thinking about was titled What size will fill flares, or something along those lines,
